I want to find out if "my" parts work with the mugen diffs. I know it will fit, but the spider gears may not mesh correctly, and the diff won't feel smooth. None of my racing buddies has a Mugen to actually try it.

How many teeth is the Mugen bevel cone gear? (the one on the outdrive/spur shaft)

If it's 20 teeth, I think it will work... so I'll just send you guys an outdrive and matching cone gear to try.

Man, I had the "maiden" voyage today!

I don't have my battery pack yet, but I just had to throw one of my 6 cell sxs E-Maxx packs in there to see if it would run.

HOLY JESUS!!!! This thing is as fast as my Brushless E-Maxx on 8.5 to 8 volts!

I can't wait to get my battery pack. It's on the way somewhere in the mail. I made the mistake of ordering it on Wednesday afternoon before a Friday holiday.

I didn't really notice a whole lot of metal on metal spur noise. I guess once I get my real battery I'll know for sure. If it's no louder than what I heard today I can live with it. I'm sure a plastic or Delrin spur would be much quieter but it's not that bad. I expected much worse from all the talk about it.

My God!!!

That's about all I can say!

Coming from an E-Maxx with a Novak 6.5 running IB 4200's, I don't think I had any idea what I was getting myself into. This thing is STUPID fast!!!!!

I know Supra will be happy. I guess the Road Rages weren't meant to be on this vehicle.

A couple of runs across the front of the house for a test and I threw a shoe.
